I'm not certain if the question was clear, so let's do this again
and put it to a vote.
These two images have the same top-level menu item selected.
Which is easier to see?
http://lilypond.org/~graham/solid.pnghttp://lilypond.org/~graham/gradients.png
(ok, the background to the lily icon doesn't match the other
shades; this can be fixed easily)
Please DO NOT complain that brown gradients doesn't fit the color
scheme; changing the colors (either of the gradients or the rest
of the page) is easy.
For the record, I vote in favor of SOME kind of gradients. (not
necessarily brown)
Voting will end in 48 hours.
Cheers,
